My Goodness, that CTS-V is fast! (NWS language)
Modded CTS-V (NOT my car, I don't race) vs. stock E55. Was posted on the CTS-V forum. Not a fair race, but fun to watch nevertheless. Of course, it occurred in Mexico because racing on public roads in the U.S. is dumb.

The V owner in the first video has a 9.5" crank pulley, CAI, and custom tune. That's it. 
No NOS. The kiiller is....for all that, he probably spent not much more than a thousand bucks including the dyno pulls. God Bless American muscle, it's so cheap to mod. 
Can't wait for warranty to be over on this car.

I don't know why it's a shock either way to the Benz driver. A brand new E55 is only about two hundred pounds lighter (probably negated by the dude in the passenger seat) and has over 175 less horsepower than a STOCK CTS-V. A CTS V would eat that thing no matter what, so if it was actually modded a little bit of N2O or even just a tweaked pulley it would blow past that thing from a roll.

If I had the means to get the CTS-V I would have... AMAZING car... and American cars are crazy easy and cheap to make fast... all Im planning for my car is intake (already have), LT headers, possibly an axle back for sound really and a tune and Im pretty much set to run mid to high 12's lol
What are your plans for your CTS-V bob? It sure is beautiful!

hahahaha. Great reaction.
I have been keeping my eye on this car. Part of me says go German... the other part says get this. I'm not looking for a car anytime soon, so it will be an ongoing battle for a little while

I only wish I had a manual to show you. I show up there at least once a month with the V.
"Hooleee Sheeeee*!"
I keep watching this over and over, just to hear the reaction. It's not about the race anymore. It is soooo funny!
